Http 403

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with the HTTP 403 error when trying to access Rank Math from your server. This error typically indicates that access to the requested resource is forbidden. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

1. Check Firewall Settings: Ensure that your server’s firewall or security settings are not blocking requests from certain IP addresses, including those from Rank Math. You may need to whitelist the following IP addresses:

   • 46.30.212.200
   • 46.30.212.201
   • 46.30.212.202
   • 46.30.212.203

   You can do this in your firewall settings or ask your web hosting provider for assistance.

2. Cloudflare Settings: If you are using Cloudflare, check your firewall rules and security settings to ensure that they are not blocking legitimate requests from Rank Math or other services. You can log in to your Cloudflare account and review the settings under Security → Events and Rules → Page Rules.

3. File/Folder Permissions: Ensure that the file and folder permissions on your server are correctly set to allow public access where necessary.

4. Check for Security Plugins: If you have any security plugins installed on your WordPress site, they might be blocking access. Review their settings and whitelist any necessary IPs or user agents.

If you continue to experience issues after trying these steps, please reply to this ticket with any additional details or changes you’ve made, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
